Additional Location Information

Casas da Cerca can offer you a choice of onsite activities such as bird watching, canoeing, fishing, horse riding, cycling, and lovely walks in and around our village. How about a romantic picnic with a river view or a visit to the windmill, one of the last working flourmills in the area?

The River Mira is a 1.5km walk away from the property with lots of spectacular wildlife to experience along the way. This welcoming and somehow mysterious river can be very creative too as it was in 1965 one of the sources of inspiration of the famous “Yesterday” from the Beatles.

We provide bicycles, fishing equipment, binoculars, picnic hampers, and bats and balls in all the houses.
The vast gardens are ideal for families with children and animals as we do accept all pets who are more than welcome to sleep with you in the house.

"Yes! I belong to Nature!"

Left on 11/18/2012 for a stay in August 2010 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Nov 18, 2012Stayed Aug 2010

The service was attentive, complete, discrete and very friendly. The collors and scents of the cozy house added to the idea of the earth construction; all the environment makes you feel like a member of the dense nature that involves you. A perfect place to go with your familly, with your teenage and small children; a place where you can be yourself and enjoy yours as they are.
You're out of the world but there's everything you need. The West Coast of Europe is there with those heavy beaches, some heard, others soft, some with a river that flows - all the choices are there.
The sounds of the birds and those you can find in an early morning walk-around is a gift.
Casas da Cerca is the best place for your accomplished holidays. It was for us.
Don't forget your binoculars! Read more

Owner's response:

Thank you Madalena and Pedro for staying at Casas da Cerca and to have fully sense and appreciate of one of the multiple facets that this place offers. In your case it was the wild and the magic of the River Mira seen and felt at the crack of dawn. I don’t forget also the gatherings and the music we share together.
